Hi Kendal, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chrishttp://chelencarter-retiredandlovingit.blogspot.ca/

this is my word this year, behold. behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. i figure if i can keep sight of Him in all His reckless glory, everything else will shake out just fine.
